CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (2016). The status of human-shark interactions and initiatives to mitigate risk in Australia. Report to the National Environmental Science Program, Marine Biodiversity Hub.

Overview

Considerable political, public and media attention in Australia has recently been focussed on the interactions between sharks and humans in the marine environment and specifically surrounding shark attack and ways to mitigate this risk. This has initiated considerable investment at the State Government level in new technologies, techniques and their operational testing, as well as publicly accessible information that supplement existing strategies in an attempt to reduce the risks of shark-human interactions.
